I know I have a long time to decide which I get, but what is better, tank reapers, cohesion, or stacked?
Typically in a company I have 3-4 AT guns, so I don't know how much use tank reapers would get, also does the penetration stack with AP rounds? that would be a 130% to penetrate?
With stacked I could afford more bars and stickies which seems pretty useful... but stickies are so hard to get on a tank most of the time. A lot of back and forth.
Then cohesion seems pretty great too, does this effect support units as well?
I'm obviously not going for arty at all.
Also looking at T3 abilities, allied grit I think would be a must have for the amount of rifles i put on the field. But do my rifles keep their health when they garrison a weapon?
Enlistment surge seems pretty cool too.
So any past Infantry players got any advice?

I've heard extremely awesome things about Tank Reapers. Ask LuciferNZ about it. I think Fulltimekiller uses Stacked. Cohesion I heard sucks cack. I can only tell you what I've *heard* though because I'm an Armor player  |

Here; watch this video about Tank Reapers; it might persuade you. http://youtube.com/watch?v=QiIYBrczg9Y |

Already seen the video, heh. I should have linked it myself! Good stuff there.
In short, Tank Reapers pretty much rules.

Does Tank Reapers work on captured guns as well? TR PaK's would be brilliant.

 Step out of the way. He'll keep going until he hits a wall, that being Akranadas. Let him go unmolested, his journey will take less time. |

get vet3 rifleman to recrew 57mm, with tank reaper, they will do 337.5 per shot
compared to regular tank reaper, which deals 225 per shot
now if you vet up that vet3 rifle recrewed 57mm to vet2 (vet 5 in effect), they do more than 500 damage per shot

Regular TR does 270. Regular TR recrewed with Vet3 Rifles would do 405. Vet2 TR recrewed with Vet3 Rifles would do 405, still. Vet3 TR recrewed with Vet3 Rifles would do 506.25. |

That's a panther in 2 - 3 hits... :/
Now add the occasional usage of (50Mu) AP rounds on top of that.

Considering that the AP rounds are dropped after the crew is killed, it's impossible to get a Vet3 TR with Vet3 recrew with AP rounds. Vet 3 TR with AP rounds would be 421.875. |

If the ostwind wasn't 175F I might've found that sad but they are so I don't  . |

Tank reapers basically make all axis tanks useless. It's decent.  |

Well, I played infantry extensively, and this is how I viewed them.
Stacked: Great really only for stacking riflemen. If you use a lot of rifles, this one is great. It's good but not great for stacking rangers.
Tank Reapers: Awesome for AT guns. If you use AT guns (3+) this will give you a powerful awesome ability.
Cohesion: Allows those all-puprose rangers to be even more dangerous. Great if you like to send around blobs of rangers. Good if you use lots of riflemen.
Artillery Expertise: Probably the least favorite but most effective tier 4 in the doctrine. The power of these shots helps break any defense your fighting, and gaining artillery as allies is very useful. This one is pretty awesome no matter how you play.

Allied Grit isn't really worth it imo, if you are going for stacked then ofcourse get it but I'd rather get the 2 other T3's that add cost reducitons.

I pretty much agree with Forefall. I think his summary was spot on.

It's pretty good. 2 Rangers squads = 24% health bonus. 6 infantry squads = 72% health bonus.
